School Impact

A course for primary leaders to analyse and interpret the new inspection data summary report and to have a secure understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in the school’s historic data. Primary leaders will also analyse and interpret the school performance information in the DfE online tool to have a secure understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in the school’s historic data.

We can help you interpret and understand the data information in the new inspection data summary report (IDSR). During the course, you will be coached and supported by ECM advisers to write an inspection data summary for your school using ECM materials as well as linking your inspection data summary report analysis to the information in the tables and charts in the ASP. You will also be provided with an ECM exemplar inspection data analysis summary to share ‘What a good one looks like’ and enable you to complete a high- quality document for your school.

By the end of the course you will:

be familiar with the inspection data summary report (IDSR) published in the autumn term;
have a secure understanding of the data sources of the ‘areas to investigate’ identified on the front page of your dashboard;
have interpreted and analysed the data in the IDSR charts and tables to identify further strengths and weaknesses;
have identified lines of enquiry to further analyse in the online Analyse School Performance (ASP);
have identified actions to address any weaknesses in the data;
be able to link the inspection data summary report analysis to your school self-evaluation and school development plan; and be able to demonstrate leadership capacity during an inspection through having a secure understanding of your school’s inspection data summary report;
navigate the new areas on the ‘Analyse School Performance’ system;
